I GLOVE.- j

To all'wkom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, MAX voN county of New York and State of New York, have invented-certain new and useful Improvements in Gloves, of which the folwith a pocket for the reception of one or more coins adapted for use in paying carfarepetc.

Gloves of the type mentioned are wellknown, but seem all to have'one serious defeet, to wit: The coin or coins are not read ily accessible and cannot be extracted coiiveniently by a gloved hand. They fail thus in their purpose, which is to permit of a re-' moval of the coin or coinswithout-removing the glove from the hand which is to extract the coin.

The main object of the present invention is to obviate the defects mentioned, that is to say to provide a glove with a pocket which can be easily opened and from which the coin or coins can be removed conveniently by a gloved hand.

Another object of the invention is to provide a glove of the type mentioned which can be produced on a commercial scale or, in other words, one which'is not so difficult to manufacture so as to be beyond the reasonable cost of such an article.

A further object of the invention is to s arrange the pocket on the glove that it will.

not be conspicuous and will not. interfere with the-free movement of the'hand.

\Vith these and other objects in view,

which will more fully appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the

same consists in the combination, arrange ment, and construction of parts hereinafter described, pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that many BALnAss, a subject of the Emperor of Austria, and. a resident of the city of New York, "inthe Specification of Letters Patent.

the invention are illustrated in the .accompanying drawings, in Wl1ich:-.

Figure 1 is a view of a glove as seen vention; Fig. 2 isaperspective view of the glove, the pocket being shown in section and 111 its open position; and Fig.3 is a view similar to the one shown inFig. 1 of amodifrom the inner or palm side,embody,1ng the iii- (OFFICE. w

struction andmade of any suitable material.

The Wrist portion of theglove is denoted by thenumeral 11, the wrista id palm portions being provided with .the usual palm opening 12, which may be closed at the wrist-by a suitable separable fastening means 13, for instance of the head-andsocket type. To the outer side of the palm portion of the .gloveisattached by a line of stitches 14 an oblong 'piece15,,preferably of the same material as the glove. This piece constitutes one Wall of the pocket, andtlie other wall consists of aisection of the palm portion Ofthe, glove. The line of I stitches is disposed, preferably, in a semilarger than the diameter of the coin tobe inserted into the pocket, said line. following closely the contour of the respective portion of the pocket. Beyond the line of stitches, the piece 15, is free,.that is to say unattached, thereby forming a tab,. pre ferably of a length so as to overlap partially the palm opening 12, as .clearly appears.

from the drawings. The longitudinal center linev of the piece,1,5 coincidespractically circle, the diameter of, which is somewhat with] the longitudinal. ficenterline of the. i palm portioi ofthe glove, and in .the said line is located between the palm opening 12 and the line of. stitches 14;;a fastenin means, preferably a snap fastener, the ma e member 16 of which is secured to the palm portion of the glove and the female member 17 to the inner face of the piece 15. The distance between the center of the said snap fastener and either one of the diametrically opposite points 18 of the line of stitches should be smaller than the diameter of the smallest coin that it is intended to carry in the pocket of the glove.

The operation of this device is as foltion shown "in "Fig; 2' of the drawings "and the tab turned back as fan as; therline 0ft stitches 14 Will permit, the coin is partially uncovered: and caused l tor stand at :an angle,
